Kickoff for the 2022 Las Vegas Bowl between the Florida Gators and Oregon State Beavers is just hours away as the battle between the SEC and Pac-12 quickly approaches. The two programs had very different seasons this fall with the Orange and Blue limping across the finish line while OSU wrapped things up on a high note.
Saturday’s matchup will be the first time the two schools have ever faced each other on the football field as well as the first game ever played in Nevada for the Gators; it also represents the first time Florida has faced two Pac-12 teams in the same season.
Take a look below at how Sports Illustrated’s Pat Forde broke down the Saturday afternoon matchup in Sin City along with his final score prediction.
